GridGuard unifies FERC, NERC, CPUC, WECC, CAISO, California GO 95/128, and PHMSA pipeline safety obligations into a single AI-powered platform. From RSAW documentation and field inspection tracking to DIMP threat management and cross-regulatory AI overlap detection — built for the compliance demands of large combination gas-and-electric utilities.
One Platform. Every Regulator.
A unified command center for all your regulatory obligations — with real-time compliance health scoring, AI-generated insights, audit readiness tracking, and audit-ready documentation.

From Self-Assessment to Closed Finding
GridGuard's modules are designed to work together. A gap found in an internal audit automatically flows through findings management, mitigation planning, and executive reporting — no manual handoffs required.
Run a Self-Assessment
Select a NERC standard (CIP, FAC, TOP, IRO, COM). Answer pre-built audit-mirrored questions with Pass/Partial/Fail/N-A scoring. AI drafts your response narratives from existing RSAW documentation.
Findings Auto-Generated
Every Fail or Partial response automatically creates a finding with severity rating, root-cause category, and assigned owner. All findings aggregate in the cross-assessment Findings Register.
One-Click Mitigation Plans
Each finding has a "Create Mitigation Plan" button that pre-fills the plan with the standard, regulator, severity, and root-cause. Findings link directly to their mitigation plan throughout the lifecycle.
Readiness Score Updates Live
As findings close and mitigation plans complete, the Audit Readiness Score updates in real time on the Executive Dashboard — giving leadership a live view of pre-audit posture.

AI That Understands
Utility Regulation
GridGuard's AI is trained on NERC reliability standards, FERC orders, CPUC decisions, and WECC audit findings. It doesn't just flag issues — it explains them in the context of your specific compliance program and drafts the documentation you need.
